OMG This has got to be one of my favourite desserts and I have not yet found a single 'shop bought' one that meets the standards of a home made. I am going to attempt this recipe for my birthday next month - well if no one has ever baked me one then I shall have to do it myself!!! I prefer cheese cake to cake any day!

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to motivate.”Thank you for taking the time to post "that kind word" its very inspiring.
